sarahmichelefThis morning was insane. M called shortly after he left the house to tell me that he had forgotten some papers that he needed to fax first thing this morning (finalizing loan paperwork on the new car) so I had to run around and find them and then I realized as I was putting on TRex's shoes that she was still wearing her overnight diaper (thankfully she was in a dress so the change was super-easy) and so we left the house later rather than earlier than, and had to stop at M's office on the way to school.
And, as always happens in these situations the other drivers on the road were all irritated at me for doing things like not flooring it to approach a green turn arrow and having the right of way when they were trying to go straight out of a left-turn lane. (I actually bellowed at that guy - don't give me the stinkeye when you're the one driving incorrectly!) And the leaving-later meant that we hit one of the surges in highway traffic - it gets dense at about 5 'til 8 and then again at about 5 after 8, I don't know why. I normally try to hit it just before the 8:00 surge.
And apparently today public transport was NOT faster than driving, since we were waiting at the stoplight by the train station when M came up. Handed off the papers, back on the highway to drop TRex off at school, then back up north to work where I was going to have to scramble to write a make-up quiz for a student who had stood me up twice already. Scrambled, wrote, and got stood up again. I am not amused.
BUT I figured out how to make online grading get automatically entered into my gradebook, so that's cool.
